Nov 19 RB Maurice Jones-Drew is likely to have a big game because the Bills have the worst run defense in the league. Yahoo! Sports

Nov 16 Jones-Drew carried 24 times for 123 yards and one TD Sunday in a 24-22 win over the Jets.

Advice: Jones-Drew stopped at the 1 and took a knee in the closing moments and apologized to fantasy owners for costing them a score. "Sorry to my fantasy owners," Jones-Drew deadpanned. "I apologize. I had myself today. It was a tough call, but whatever it takes to get the victory, that's what counts." Fantasy owners should accept Jones-Drew's apology if he continues to play like he did against the Jets.

Nov 15 Jones-Drew (knee) rushed for 123 yards and scored a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Jets. Jones-Drew added two receptions for 22 yards.

Recommendation: Jones-Drew produced like he always does, but he could have had a monster game. He fumbled inside the five-yard line in the third quarter and then went down intentionally at the one-yard line, a la Brian Westbrook, in the final two minutes to kill the rest of the clock and set up the game-winning field goal with no time left. If Jones-Drew had scored, as he easily could have, the Jets would have had over 90 seconds to try and tie or win the game with a touchdown. Instead, he made the smart play and went down to practically seal the win. While Jones-Drew can be commended for using his head, he probably hurt a lot of fantasy owners in the process.
